So outside genders you can also be transgender. Moot point as self identity is the real authority here, but wordplay is fun permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] Pyrixas@piefed.social -4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Taleya@aussie.zone 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) literal definition of the affix. Look it up. Also the trans community does include intersex and enbys. Also tends to be very accepting of GNCs, genderqueers, and genderfucks. And if you got off your outrage high, you'd read the rest of that last sentence. You know, the bit where I literally said **"Self identity is the real authority" ** I get it. You love your purity politics. I don't. And on a personal note: Don't try and tell me what the Community wants. Because I've been a member of it a lot longer than you have. And that policing purity politicking bullshit is literally a psyop to try and fracture us. permalink fedilink source parent [–] TractorDuffy@lemmy.world [S] 4 points 3 months ago Transgender is you still identifying by a gender and changing over to that other gender. I'm not sure I agree.. many of my trans friends have said they didn't "change over" to the other gender, they were always that gender. Non-Binary identifies OUTSIDE of genders, all and any. Again, I think you missed the mark here.. nonbinary folks often do identify as a gender which is not part of the typical binary. I think you confused this for agender. permalink fedilink source parent [–] AnalogHole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 months ago (1 child) Many consider the absence of gender a gender in and of itself. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 2 points 3 months ago* Not to mention, agender ∈ enby but not every enby is agender... unless you only accept 2 genders permalink fedilink source parent
